Storage and Reheating Tips

If you happen to have leftovers, don’t fret! These potato snacks can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to three days. The flavor only gets better as the ingredients meld together. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in an oven or air fryer to regain that desirable crispy exterior. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make them soggy.

For meal prep enthusiasts, consider making a larger batch and freezing the un-fried potato snacks. Just shape them into balls or patties, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to fry them, cook them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the frying time.

Pairing Suggestions

To elevate your snack experience, consider adding a variety of dipping sauces. Classic options include a tangy ranch dressing, a zesty salsa, or a creamy avocado dip. Each of these complements the flavors of the potato snacks beautifully, offering a delightful burst of taste with every bite. For a gourmet twist, experiment with aioli or a spicy dipping sauce for those who love a bit of heat.

Additionally, you can serve these snacks alongside a fresh salad or some crispy veggie sticks for a well-rounded appetizer platter. Pair with a light sangria, sparkling water, or craft beer, and you’ll have both drinks and snacks that appeal to a wide range of palates. Enjoy a full sensory festival with every bite and sip!
